“Tony Parker is not in the squad. (Coach) Vincent Collet and I want him to take some rest after many demanding campaigns with France and demanding seasons with his club,” the national technical director Patrick Beesley said in a statement.

Parker has gone to back-to-back NBA Finals with the Spurs (he played 91 games this year, regular season and playoffs) and, as mentioned, has played for France during his summers off.

This will make Gregg Popovich happy. He’s big on the whole rest thing.

Manu Ginobili has yet to decide if he will play for Argentina in the tournament. Kawhi Leonard has been invited to try out for Team USA, and his game certainly would fit the squad, but that is a deep pool of talent and it is possible he does not make it. Boris Diaw could play for the French team.

Great news! As a Spurs and Manu fan, I hope he follows suit, but I can never be mad at these guys for wanting to represent their countries.
Hopefully the Spurs will stay pretty healthy next season too, and get a chance to repeat.
